Safety, trust & environment

I take the utmost precautions and care when it comes to your family members. Ensuring their safety, security, and well being is my number one priority.

Information Michelle H. would like to know about your pet

Letting me know about any special needs that your fur family member might have is always appreciated. I am sensitive to the fact that our pets bring their own quirks, likes and dislikes with them. If your pet is spooked by anything in particular, is not fond of certain noises, acrions, or objects or even if they might be uncomfortable around others during walks or while out in the public, I will ensure to keep all of those front of mind.

A typical day

I’ll always want to learn more about your pet before our stay. That way I can get to know them, what their likes and dislikes are, and what their routine or fun looks like for them individually. I know each pet is different and being a multi pet household ourselves I know the importance of making each one feel special.

Animal lover, rescuer, & friend

Pet care experience

I have a lifetime of experience caring for animals. Having worked with rescues, animal shelters, pet sitting, and loving my own pack of 9 I treat all animals with the love and kindness they should have. I have cared for terminally ill and special needs cats. Bottle fed days old kittens and puppies. I take detailed notes of the care your four legged family member needs and make sure they are loved just like when you are home with them. My friends with dogs call me the "dog whisperer" and I make friends with every pup I meet when I am out. I have extensive experience and references with rescues throughout the Southern US. I put your pets safety and comfort first. I currently have a very flexible schedule to help busy paw parents while they are out, working, or travel. Please feel free to ask me any questions you may have, I can't wait to meet your furkids.

I don’t know who’s happier when we book Michelle… the dogs (Bella & Buddy)or myself. She is such a responsible compassionate & loving person. If you hate leaving your babies like me you have no worries with Michelle she’s got this. We have used her for years.
